JL Audio Stealthbox

Here's a picture of the new JLA Stealthbox. It's 100% fiberglass. It appears the install is more extensive than other ones but I'm sure there's a reason.

I might be replacing the current 4smartcar box with this one, pricey but worth it for JL quality.

Soooooooooooooooooooo............................. ....
Why is this one better than the 4smartcar box or the one from smart madness?I have the 4smartcar box with the JL woofer I got on E-bay for less than $200.00 slightly used.

Fiberglass enclosures smaller, lighter and usually much stronger then the MDF enclosures. Also this one build by JL for JL woofer.

Anyone installed this sub? How is sound?

I would assume the box is bigger because fiberglass can be molded to fit the underdash area better. The JL specs call for 0.3 cubic ft enclosure, and the other Smart boxes have just over 0.2 (per others on the forum) and use polyfill to make up the difference in performance. I bet JL squeezes out more volume with this box.

Now...is it worth $200 more for the volume? Not for my pocketbook. If I were all in for every component, maybe, but there are better places I could use the money.

For that much more, you could get a much stronger amp, etc. and people have gotten great results from the existing boxes. Polyfill to make up for volume is an old audio shortcut (as someone in another thread pointed out).

Ordered this and had it installed this past Friday. Have to say its well worth the money. With this and a amp turns this lil car on. If you have the money, get it, you will be very pleased with it.

Mind I ask what you paid and where you got it from?
